Time: 6:00pm

As a visually impaired choreographer whose work celebrates immigrant and disabled narratives, Núñez draws inspiration from experiences of displacement, migratory journey, medical botany, indigeneity, and mythology. His movement practice, Vortex, delves into concepts like velocity distribution, vorticity, and circulation, exploring their relationship with proprioception, anatomy planes, and axes of movement.
